Today, it’s a great opportunity to celebrate the success of Trig, share ideas and experiences and to make the connections for new opportunities.

The real value of Trig is how it offers some of UK’s most innovative companies the chance to help tackle genuine transport challenges. It really is so, so impressive how much we deliver to UK growth, to innovation generally within the UK and international through this program. And you’ve seen the impact it’s had on people’s lives, on transport settings and on your own companies and the way in which they’ve been able to grow. We started Trig as an idea on a PowerPoint slide and we ended the program having technology in Southend on Sea. So it’s been transformational for our business.

Trig has helped us scale our solution by being able to interact with stakeholders from Department of Transport and test it with users and get some concrete results and to really see your problem as part of a wider transportation system and meet the broader demands of transport. I think that was a very important aspect of the Trig program. Being a small team might be daunting, especially if the scale of the problem is very large. But you can create solutions for almost anything and that attitude is scalable. Even a one person team can deliver impact.
1:34 – 1:43
I’d like to say thank you to all of you for your continued brilliant work and I look forward to hearing of all the great ideas that come out in trig 2020.
